Well it was a fun ride while it lasted.  I’ve had good times and bad times.  I’ve had the privilege of meeting some good people and befriending them.  I’ve gotten to write about some real interesting topics.  I’ve got to explore some new avenues of information that have really opened my eyes.  Unfortunately all good things must come to an end though.  So it’s with a tear in my eye that I have to signal the end of Counting Beans.  Luckily for those of you who have stuck by my sometimes random postings there will be further inane mutterings at my new Counting Beans blog.  So hop on over there and begin the adventure anew!  So long, and thanks for all the fish!
